Here is the art of listening deeply- how to listen to another, and how to listen to self.
"When I reflect on the fact of whether or not I know that I am loved, I cannot undertake that possibility without coming to the rather definitive conclusion that being loved feels much like being listened to, deeply.
When I speak something of personal meaning or significance to another, particularly as I feel my own personal nature or feeling being revealed to another, I feel exposed. I am vulnerable as myself, being revealed. It is in these moments that I am immediately aware of how it feels when the other can hear what it is I am saying. It is the distinctive feeling of being received; it is like the other can take a sip from the cup from which I have been drinking."
